Whether arson is violence or pacifism depends entirely on what’s being burned

Construction is not more valuable than destruction when what’s being built is a concentration camp; the maintenance of a prison factory is not a neutral act just because it preserves the status quo. When colonized and enslaved people set fires to homes of their overseers, broke the equipment for mining or sugar processing, and killed […]

No one cares what you think a “real Satanist” is

Criticism of Satanism and Satanists tends to fall into one of only two types. The first and most common generally is just right-wing reactionary paranoia; it’s typical antisemitic tropes dressed up in horns, a tail, and handed a pitchfork to be able to be shouted openly with only people in-the-know understanding the implicit Judenhass. But […]

Footnotes to Newsweek’s “Orgies, Harassment, Fraud: Satanic Temple Rocked by Accusations, Lawsuit”

Last week, reporter Julia Duin filed her story that involved interviewing us about being sued by The Satanic Temple in federal court and some of the other complaints from previous members about TST’s pattern of behavior.

What the hell is “The Satanic Temple”? — Ep. 3: United Federation of Churches LLC

More than a year passes between TST’s first public event in Florida and for-profit company United Federation of Churches LLC incorporating in Massachusetts in February 2014, so figuring out when “The Satanic Temple” came to exist as it’s understood today is a bit tricky, partially overlapping with the Spectacle Films-project era but evidently preceding even that.

It’s not the plot that matters; it’s the perspective

This goes back to “perspective” in fiction (and history), and why it is structurally impossible to tell an anti-war film from the perspective of a soldier who is blowing things up in battle; why it’s not really a subversion or critique to have an antihero who does horrible things be a protagonist; why you cannot […]

Christians are sincere about this

One of the things you notice about white evangelical Christians in particular is that they truly and sincerely believe themselves to always be martyrs and under siege, no matter how much power they actually wield in society. These Christians are also extraordinarily fond of appropriating Jewishness and its status as an actual persecuted minority religion […]

The grift is easier when you believe it

The problem isn’t intelligence; the problem isn’t even ignorance or education. Ben Shapiro knows about vaccines. He knows how they work and that they’re effective. But, whether his current Covid-19 stance is pure grift or partially sincere irrelevant. His politics have led him to a place where he has to oppose people “being forced” to […]

The point of power is that arguments have no effect on it

We’re only sharing this so you can check for yourself that it’s a real tweet. For the right wing, it really doesn’t matter what hypocrisy you point out, what you parody, what you criticize.

Banning plastic straws when [redacted] is necessary

Plastic straws were invented to fill a need: a way for disabled people to be able to actually fucking eat and drink safely. The adoption of an accessibility device by ableds does not mean that it should be banned due to usage by those ableds. It is unforgivable that we have told disabled people their […]
